Coleoptiles are the growing part of shoots in monocot plants. Peter Boysen-Jensen performed the famous experiment on phototropism of shoots in monocot plants. Later, Frits Went extended the experiments. Some of the essential observations of their experiments are listed below: I. Shoots of young rice plants bent in response to light. II. If the tip of a growing rice coleoptile was removed, the response of bending towa

Options

  1. AThe bending of shoot can be induced in another decapitated coleoptile plant after transferring the tip of ligh
  2. BThe diffusion of a substance present in the tip is induced by light.
  3. CAn agar piece not inserted in the coleoptile, when placed on a decapitated shoot, will cause its bending.
  4. DThe substance that causes bending is stable and not destroyed by light.
